lawyer

Law school is tough. At times you may get so wrapped up in the minutia of writing a perfect legal advocacy memo, or you may be pulled in many directions trying to understand the Erie Doctrine, or you may find your eyeglass prescription has changed from all of the endless readings.

1L year moves fast, incredibly fast.

When I first came to BC Law, my favorite question to ask 2Ls and 3Ls was: “what was your release from law school?”

For some, it was binge-watching shows on Netflix. For others it was taking up a new hobby like rock climbing, building a new skillset like cooking, working out, or eating a pound of ice cream. The takeaway was that whatever your release: enjoy it, indulge in it, and let it revive you.

So in a moment when I was stressed out and started to lose sight of why I was in law school, I took a deep breath, put on some Frank Sinatra tunes, and pulled out a canvas and began to paint.

Dear College Seniors,

Congratulations! The finish line is in sight, you ve picked up your cap and gown, you ve probably scheduled or already taken your graduation photos, and all that s left between you and summer is a bunch of finals. Now, If you re anything like me, the second you got into BC, the greatest law school on Earth, you were pretty much done  with undergrad. At least mentally.
